Spiritual Energy – Chakra Energy System
Meditation to Balance and Cleanse Your Chakras.
According to ancient scriptures, the spine and the human energy field contain chakras or energy centres. These centres vibrate at different frequencies & each contains certain characteristics that are connected to different aspects of our lives.
Although we have no manual for life, we are fortunate to have access to the ancient teachings today, that give us clues and guidelines to help us live in harmony & manage our lives in the best way.
Our energy system is a subtle representation of our lives. The more comfortable we are on the inside the more our outer world will reflect the same. When are energy centers are clear and the energy is flowing easily, our lives flow more easily as well. When we work through our inner issues & challenges, the world responds accordingly.
By understanding the characteristics of each energy centre, we are more easily able to recognise the areas in our lives that need healing or transformation.
I have listed below a definition of each of our energy centres, to assist you in understanding the areas in your own life that you may need to give more attention.
